Makeup for red lippie

[Die Marchen]

I have tried Sultry (loved the texture a lot) but it didn't work for me. My husband said I looked older and made up too much, though he loves bright colors (some days when I do not wear make up at all I can put a single wash of smth veeery bright (5th Avenue) on my lids right before he comes late at night from work and to stun him and make say - oh, how fresh and beautiful you are!)
My Mother-in-Law said that I looked like a very young girl who dared to try mom's lipstick) She was more delicate.

Sultry was too pink on me. It had some raspberry in it on me that made me look ... cheap.

Crimson is also in my wish list)))

I hope to get lots of lippies to test and I promise to let you know the results.

Not Lily, but I do have both Crimson and Reddy, so hopefully I can help
Reddy is darker shaded, and it seems to have a bit more depth to it. On me, it leans into a bit of a cool burgundy. It's also sheer and nicely buildable.
The site says it's a warm base, but it always seemed cooler to me, which I don't mind at all.

Casual Red is like a cooler version of Hot Blooded, and I believe there is a tiny sheen to it too.

Thanks egerandi! Very helpfull indeedio
Casual Red sounds like it would suit me since Hot Blooded is sort of to warm`ish for me...to bad it is gone...

Then I stick to my Crimson as Reddy is darker. I DO want to try a darker lip so thinking about either Raisin or Cassis ...

I keep going baaaaack and forth between Raisin and Cassis, so don`t know which one I end up with...hmmm, need more swatches of those two or use a counting rhyme like this one, lol ...

Catch the lipgloss by the cap.
If it hollers let him nap, (in the wishlist... )
Eeny, meeny, miny, moe,
into cart you hereby go!

I'm partial to Raisin, Cassis didn't work for me. Raisin is like the oomph'd up version of Fig Leaf on my lips: more depth, more shine, and it stains my lips a bit to make last even longer.

Sorry if I confused you: Reddy is not as dark as say Raisin or Cassis, just a different kind of red than Crimson that looks darker. It's a different color family, so if you want a bit of change (and it's cool too, as in not warm), which you seem to like. Just sayin'

Ok, thanks egerandi I get it, thank you for clarifying

I have always been intrigued by Raisin but have never gotten it as I have prioritized other colors first. So I may be trying out Raisin first and if it works for me then I will be happy about that.

I get confused by what I look good in sometimes as I can pull off colors that are in the warm category (like Mirabelle and Foreplay)
But Hot Blooded is the only one I have that I can`t pull off that well although, it isn`t ugly on me at all, just not perfect...

I think I am leaning towards neutral in my coloring since I can wear peacy colors and reds and plums and browns...Very practical really, lol...But I need stronger colors, I can NOT pull off just dabbing lips with a muted color and a dab of a soft color on my cheeks and violah I am ready for the world...Nope, need more than that, a makeupartist once told me I had a coloring that made my skin absorb/swallow color! Even though I am fair! Go figure...

I love Reddy. It is not dark but not orangey red either. On my medium olive skin it looks like a medium reddish color. Die Marchen, I thunk it would be the right shade for you. I also have bombshell which is good on me for a statement, but with your blonde hair and fair skin and light eyes, i think that would look too strong/harsh on you.

Thanks for the idea)) I'm looking forward to get a wonderful envelope from Andrea))) And as I get it I'll do lots of experiments))

I was in a playful mood and as I know that red should better be worn with neutral I made a bright makeup that was good!!!

I couldn't make a good pic, so I'll describe it:

My usual foundation

Afterglow blush

Hot Blooded on my lips

Eyes: Luxe - inner half, Boom as a hightlighter and an off-brand deep cranberry shimmer on the outer V, thin black liner and brown SN mascara

I was the Warmth itself))) It was very nice, it was bright but good both for day and night
